my cousins
 
my cousins have never been through abuse by their parents at all there home life was perfect compared to mine they didnt get called names!!! yelled at!!! made to feel worthless worser then dirt!!!!! they didnt get hit!!!!! my home life was hell but they talk **** like they know what happened and they understand when they just dont!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry you had such a difficult home life and that you feel your cousins don't understand. It is worth bearing in mind though that just like your cousins don't know what you went through, you don't know what went on behind closed doors in your cousins house. So maybe don't assume their home life was perfect!

The following content has been hidden - Reason : (mentions sexual abuse and ED)
I know that their lifes weren’t perfect one was anorexic when she was a kid and the other was gang raped when she was a kid (they told me what had happened to them) but their weren’t abused by a parent and when they found out about me and my dad they didn’t believe me and they still sort of dont

I'm so sorry that they didn't believe you, that's really unfair. Do you have a lot of contact with them?

I still stand by my statement though that you don't know for sure what their home life was like.

somewhat.....

ok

Pi.R^2 05-12-2020 10:21 PM

And do you want to have contact with them?

Darkwings44 05-12-2020 10:27 PM

...no.... but they have said that no matter what they do to me they are blood relatled...... so even if i never want anything to do with them they will always talk to me and bother me.....

And why do you have to reply?

This has been bugging me for a while. It really sounds like you're dismissing the things they've been through/are going though. Anorexia and gang rape are very serious things. And I am very sorry you've been through a lot and are struggling but maybe you shouldn't dismiss other's problems so easily. It is not a competition.

Pi.R^2 06-12-2020 04:59 PM

^this!

If for whatever reason you don't want to have contact with them, then you don't have to. You could block them on whatever means they use to contact you. If you wanted to explain beforehand that you were cutting contact because you can't get past them not believing you about the abuse from your father then that would be kinder than just blocking them, but you don't even have to do that if you don't want to!

Darkwings44 10-12-2020 11:17 PM

they wont stop unless i do reply...

im sorry

not_so_insig 11-12-2020 03:11 AM

Sometimes you have to be brave and ignore them. Block them and if they turn up at your group home tell the staff that in no uncertain terms you don't want to see them. It will take several weeks for them to get the hint and they may use emotional blackmail to get a response but by responding you may be adding fuel to the fire.

Darkwings44 11-12-2020 03:15 AM

ill try..... but i dont know if i can....

not_so_insig 11-12-2020 04:19 AM

Hopefully you can ignore them as this seems to me the best way forward. I get that it's easier said than done though.

Darkwings44 13-12-2020 04:48 PM

i'll try but like you said its easyier said than done but i'll try

Pi.R^2 23-12-2020 03:56 PM

How are you getting on with this?

Darkwings44 23-12-2020 04:46 PM

they tryed to contact me but i stoped them.......

Pi.R^2 23-12-2020 05:21 PM

Well done! Have they attempted to contact you since then?

Darkwings44 23-12-2020 05:27 PM

thank you... <3
yeah..

Pi.R^2 28-12-2020 12:17 AM

Would you consider blocking them so that they can’t contact you?

Darkwings44 28-12-2020 02:56 AM

i would but i cant.....
